All in a don's day - Mary Beard

Her central themes are the classics, universities and teaching - and
much else besides. In this second collection following on from the
success of It's a Don's Life, Beard ponders whether Gaddafi's
home is Roman or not, we share her 'terror of humiliation' as she enters
'hairdresser country' and follow her dilemma as she wanders through the
quandary of illegible handwriting on examination papers and 'longing
for the next dyslexic' - on whose paper the answers are typed, not
handwritten.Praise for It's a Don's Life'Delightful...

still have their empire' Daily Mail
